What, who or how and when did you first get involved with the Iditarod?
I first became involved with Iditarod 12 years ago when I came up to be in IditaRider with my husband and enjoyed it a lot and have been back every year since.
What is your Why? Why are you here TODAY and involved with the Iditarod?
I am here today and involved with Iditarod because I enjoy coming back. It’s like family and I enjoy seeing all the people once a year.
Tell me about just one of your most memorable Iditarod experiences:
One of my most memorable Iditarod experiences was my very first time riding out of town as an IditaRider on the sled. They had over 100 inches of snow that year and it was beautiful and that’s, I think, why I’ve been coming back every year since.
What in life do you know for sure?
What I know for sure in life is I know God is my Savior and I enjoy life in general.
